Director Anurag Kashyap is at Cannes Film Festival for his neo-noir drama titled Kennedy, and during a press-junket he revealed that he first reached out to Chiyaan Vikram for the lead role but he never responded. The filmmaker then asked Rahul Bhatt to read the script
Now, Chiyaan Vikram took to his social media profile and wrote, “Dear @anuragkashyap72, Just revisiting our conversation from over a year ago for the sake of our friends and well-wishers on social media”
“When I heard from another actor that you had tried to reach me for this film & that you felt I hadn’t responded to you, I called you myself immediately and explained that I hadn’t gotten any mail or msg from you as the mail id that you had contacted me on was no longer active and my number had changed almost 2 years before that. As I said during that phone call, I’m very excited for your film Kennedy and even more so because it has my name. I wish you great times ahead. Lots of love Chiyaan Vikram aka Kennedy” added Vikram.
Helmed by Anurag, Kennedy features Rahul Bhat, Sunny Leone and Abhilash Thapliyal, the film revolves around an insomniac ex-cop, long thought to be dead, but still looking for redemption.
